lol. It was the same for me at first. You get used to it. Just keep at it Ra

You'll eventually get used to the numbers, and those are very useful when reading/writing/playing chords with upper extensions, imo.

You can always just subtract 7 or 14 from the number to get the base quality of it. A M20 will have the same quality as a M6. A m14 will match a m7.

I personally do not use the trainer, as I can recognize all of the notes/chords, and the trainer format is not conducive to becoming faster slowly, and does not emphasize accuracy.

Instead I recommend Notationist, or if you are a free member, just work on general sight reading on your instrument.

Instead of focusing on speed at first, just get every single note right, even if it takes you many seconds to recognize (or work out). There is a significant time penalty for missed notes (around five seconds) so be careful first, and later slowly speed up.

Also invesions are super easy, and IMHO a waste of time, so do not judge the rest of the contests by this. (aka sus chords are the only ones not following the same rule)

sus chords are pretty much the only chords I never use while composing or playing. also, i got my highscore of 45 in 3 runs, so i do understand that inversions are incredible easy

That doesn't make any sense, because you show the scale degrees afterwards, and I heard something entirely different. Like P1 P4 M6 P4, whereas I heard P5 P1 M3 P1. This isn't relative pitch.

I can follow the arguments in tonegym's answer. Anyway,they charge money, because they can ...

@Johnny Silverhand Exactly: unless you're playing atonal music, melodies are always heard relative to a tonal centre. This is true even of monophonic textures, and even more so of the typical melody-plus-accompaniment texture, in which melodies are only ever sounded against a meaningful harmonic background.

Good for you!!!

Well done!

Good for you!!!

Good work!

Wow!

I think I did more than 80 also once, and yes, that was when our friend would do 80 consistently!

who is that friend

You're an inspiration and an outstanding teacher !! Many thanks Andreï
